Abou Faour, Taymour Jumblat Return to Lebanon after Meeting Saudi Intelligence Chief
Caretaker Social Affairs Minister Wael Abou Faour and son of Progressive Socialist Party chief Walid Jumblat, Taymour, returned to Lebanon on Monday after a trip to Saudi Arabia that lasted several days, reported the National News Agency.
It revealed that they had held talks in the kingdom with head of Saudi Intelligence Prince Bandar bin Sultan on the situation in Lebanon and the region.
“Several political issues were addressed during this critical time that the Arab world, especially Lebanon, is passing through,” it added.
The two sides also stressed the good ties between the PSP chief with Saudi Arabia.
Jumblat expressed his appreciation for the role the kingdom is playing in supporting Lebanon and protecting its security, said NNA.
Media reports last week said Abou Faour and Taymour Jumblat's talks will focus on the formation of a new government.
The two officials had arrived in Saudi Arabia on August 12.
